San Gaudenzio Dome in Novara
Novara’s most important church is the Basilica di San Gaudenzio built in 1659 with architecture by Pellegrino Tibaldi. Its dome is 397 feet high, the city’s landmark, heralding from afar the approach to the city. It is also a work of Alessandro Antonelli (completed in 1888) and crowned by a gilded figure of Christ. Inside, one of its most interesting features is the Scurolo, a kind of ground-level crypt, holding the mortal remains of Novara’s patron saint, St. Gaudenzio.
